Stronger with More Jobs

Chapter 688 - 293: Taichu-Class Divine Armament, New Beginnings!

Su Wanqing heard this, nodded helplessly, and gently placed the marker pen at the edge of the whiteboard: "It’s true that you can make this analogy, but never underestimate those gangsters who can only fight with their flesh. Without using Qi Blood Technique or Observation Method, relying solely on a body honed to the extreme, those who can stand firm in Abyssal Corner are no different from humanoid fierce beasts."

"Their melee combat power is definitely a notch above the people outside."

Fang Qingyu listened and nodded in agreement: "Indeed that is the case."

His own body, under the dual tempering of Dragon Transformation Power and Shenxiao Authority.

Had already far surpassed the same level, even without using any Extraordinary Power.

Its strength could be described as terrifying.

Crashing through a building for him was like smashing through a block of tofu.

Then, Fang Qingyu turned his attention to Su Wanqing, getting straight to the point: "So, when we arrive at the City of Injustice, what should be our first step?"

Su Wanqing immediately turned around, her slender fingers accurately pointing to a circled area on the whiteboard map, near the port, marked with the words: [Gray Rock District].

"The first step is to secure a foothold." She said decisively, "Whatever we do, we must first have a stable base."

"The core of this mission is to suppress a large-scale riot and figure out the situation, but the premise is that we must first establish our own foothold. The City of Injustice has no vacant rooms for rent; any place with a roof and walls implies ownership."

She paused, tapped her finger on [Gray Rock District]: "My suggestion is to start here."

"Gray Rock District is located at the edge of the outer city, near the port, with mixed elements, but the powers are relatively less entangled."

"We need a turf to serve as our headquarters, either paying to rent it, which requires a massive amount of the City of Injustice’s currency ’Gray Crystal’, of which we have almost none upon arrival, or..."

Su Wanqing’s lips curved into a sharp arc, her gaze sweeping over everyone present, finally landing on Fang Qingyu’s face: "Fight! Directly take a piece of land by force!"

"Fight?" Chu Kuanglan’s eyes lit up, his fists clenched unconsciously, "This I’m familiar with! Who should we fight?"

Su Wanqing’s finger stopped on a simple Cyan Dragon symbol within the [Gray Rock District]: "There is a Cyan Dragon Gang here. The gang leader, ’Sea Splitting Blade’ Lei Meng, is in the Martial Saint Initial Realm and is quite famous for his fast blade in Gray Rock District."

"The core members of the entire gang number about thirty, and the peripheral scattered soldiers and bandits amount to nearly a hundred. They control an area near the dock’s warehouse in Gray Rock District, with several buildings and a small abandoned cargo yard. The location is good, easy to defend and hard to attack, just right for us to settle."

She analyzed: "Lei Meng, in terms of strength within the Martial Saint Initial Realm, isn’t top-notch; the overall strength of the gang isn’t strong either. They’re considered second-rate in Gray Rock District, living off collecting protection fees from dock laborers and small traders."

"We, as ten people, although few in number, absolutely crush them in quality."

"Qingzi, taking down Lei Meng would be a piece of cake for you, and the others handling those small fries is no problem. Simply crush them, seize the territory; it’s the quickest and most straightforward way."

Fang Qingyu looked at the Cyan Dragon mark on the map, his fingers unconsciously tapping on the door frame, his face showing a contemplative look.

Attack directly?

With their team’s strength, wiping out a small gang with only a Martial Saint Initial Realm overseeing it was indeed as easy as pie.

The gap between the same realm can be greater than the gap between people and dogs sometimes.

Moreover, every one of them was an elite capable of battling beyond their level.

But the problem is...

"It’s too conspicuous."

Fang Qingyu slowly spoke, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, "We just arrived, and the goal is to suppress the inner city’s riot."

"If we land and immediately high-profile wipe out a local gang and seize territory, it’s like throwing ice into boiling oil. We’d instantly become a target of all, being watched by all forces, and even potentially alerting the real giants within the inner city, startling the grass to scare the snake. It’s not conducive to our subsequent actions."

He looked at Su Wanqing: "Is there a more low-key way? For example... join them first?"

Su Wanqing was slightly stunned, then her eyes lit up: "Join? That is an idea! Find any identity and collectively join the Cyan Dragon Gang."

"A down-and-out small family trying to get a foothold in Gray Rock District, seeking protection from a local gang, is reasonable. Lei Meng’s strength is limited, but his ambition isn’t small; he’s always wanted to expand his power. Our ten people, for him, are undoubtedly quality resources, and he will definitely accept it."

Fang Qingyu nodded, his thoughts becoming clear: "Yes. By joining them, we can justifiably establish ourselves on their territory, closely observe the ecology of Gray Rock District and even the entire outer city."

"More importantly, we can use the shell of the Cyan Dragon Gang to slowly gather intelligence on the inner city rioting."

"Once we understand the situation in the city, we can then decide whether to replace them, completely controlling the Cyan Dragon Gang as our tentacles and bastion, or start anew. It would be more composed and targeted."

"This is a far more prudent approach than shouting and killing right from the start, exposing ourselves in front of everyone."

"Agreed!" Wei Banmeng was the first to express support, a look of agreement on his cold face.

Infiltrate, observe, and act when the time is ripe.

Indeed better than charging mindlessly.

Lu Jiuyuan pushed his glasses: "Advance by retreating, strategic planning before action. Definitely safer."

Jiang Wei softly responded with an "um."

Old Qin and the other four had no objections.

They were here to help anyway; whatever Fang Qingyu decided, they would follow suit.
